The history-making POSE features the largest cast of transgender actors in series regular roles and the largest recurring LGBTQ cast ever for a scripted television series.

Co-creator Steven Canals has been writing scripts for the series with Our Lady J (Transparent) as well as with transgender rights activist and New York Times best-selling author Janet Mock.

The writers have also brought on ball culture consultants Michael Roberson and Twiggy Pucci Garon to help populate the series with people from within the New York ball community, as well as to help develop authentic ball world stories to be featured in the show.
